Tharpe was taken by Waskom EMS to LSU Hospital in Shreveport. Latham says he expects Tharpe to be O-K, because amazingly, the bullet did not hit any vital organs.

The bit about eeeeeeeeeeeeevil hollowpoints...that's just good solid reporting. The lungs are vital organs last time I checked......not so solid reporting.

I'm just sayin'

Hollowpoints? Not interesting at all, unless they mention the brand and give details on penetration, expansion, etc and let us know if the guy who got hit was incapacitated by bleeding or hydrostatic shock.

I'd be more interested to hear that somebody was shot with FMJs. That would be worth mentioning.

Child custody is always an emotionally charged topic. Really, with as little information as the article gave, there's simply no way to know what happened.

The guy might have got irritated and shot. Or the guy who got shot might have threatened to kidnap. Or...or....or....I could go on all night.

Shot did hit left side of chest, so good placement. That's the only thing we might know at this point.
